I tried to turn on PTI today and for some reason they're playing a spelling bee instead. How can a spelling bee get better ratings than PTI? Disgraceful.

This reminds me of a time when I was a kid- I was over at my cousins house, and there was this kid that lived across the street named boo. We were all sitting there eating chips and salsa, and my cousins were making fun of this kid. I didn't even know him. So my cousin said "hey boo, spell salsa" So I was just sitting there wondering why the hell my cousin would ask such a dumb question for no apparent reason. And boo slowly and nervously said "t-o-s-t-i-t-o-s" It was hilarious as hell at the time, but I felt bad for the kid.

Th spelling bee is hilarious, I'd watch it any day. It's really entertaining to watch the future hermits of the world in action.

He did kind of have that southern twang in his voice. Whoever it was would probably be about 24 now.

Or am I completely missing the joke and Boo Radley is a movie character or something.

Yeah, I knew I would be an idiot if I responded to that. Sounded like a character from something.

In 7th grade I won my grade and was supposed to compete in front of the whole school... I've always had a bit of a stage fright thing going on...so, I faked sick and my alternate had to go in...ha.

Kind of a dick move...haha.

Future hermits who will probably make more money than all of us.

I saw the winner's interview on First Take. I had to mute because his nerdy voice was too painful to stand.

Spelling is not a sport and therefore has no business whatsoever being on ESPN. What a waste of airtime.
